We did use the log burner which was lovely. Definitely not suitable for dogs. "Secure garden" cannot be secured if there are cars in the driveway as the gate can not be closed. Definitely not suitable for anyone with accessibility issues. Lots of steps/stairs and small steps between rooms that could be a hazard.

The location is excellent with lots of things to do within an hour of the doorstep. The cottage gave a cozy feel and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hot tub was a lovely addition and gave a lot of privacy. All in all the cottage was clean and tidy but had a few missed areas. Generally enjoyed our stay here.

A lovely cottage, quite modern whilst keeping it's character. The owners clearly care for their property and it was lovely and clean! Beds were super comfy and the views out the back are simply stunning. Perfect location for walks and a hot tub to relax in after. Matlock and Bakewell are a 40 min drive away and Dovedale is a lovely walk, also aboutRead more 40 mins away. The cottage is on a steep hill and the village is also rather hilly, so make sure you are confident with driving on hills! Hide

Great little gem in a fantastic location. Lots of walks around the area. All very well maintained and clean. We had 3 dogs and a perfect size for us.

The cottage was very clean and tidy in a very beautiful village. Plenty of space for parking. Beautiful views from outside the windows and amenities very close by which is a plus. Only thing Id say is the gate is brillant but with little dogs they can get through so chicken wire along would mean you could let them out without the worry of escaping.Read more Sorry to say the basket of logs was only 3 so I did have to go out and get some.

Really lovely property in a fantastic location! Its true - the hot tub is a little on the exposed side as it is on the front porch but efforts have been made to make it as private as possible. Stunning views and the bathtub overlooking the fields was lovely. We had our young baby with us and a high chair and cot were provided. So grateful!

The cottage is ideally situated to visit local points of interest. It is very clean and warm. Kitchen is well equipped and beds comfortable. We visited just recently when the snow was here and the owner was really kind and checked to ensure we were ok. A very nice thought. I would highly recommend this cottage and we hope to return at some point.

The cottage was nice but the bed on the 2nd floor needs to be replaced as very uncomfortable and creeks. The hot tub was lovely to go in after days out but would be better if it was covered more for privacy as its right at front of house by the main road. Would recommend visiting matlock as short drive away from cottage.

Fantastic cottage, lovely quiet location. With great walks on your doorstep. The only negative point would be for guests staying with dogs.
